Smr Simple!

I have been asked to help to place these TrainCars in a Map, and explain it how. So this is how it works for me. Below is the directory of my map, where AAA is the name of the map. From all the folders that wingsofphoenix provided the “_common” folder needs to be copied + the pain schemes planning t...

Try This: Sometimes there are still some bugs in the “Mapshifter” Therefore I would try this: (this is the old and tried method) How to empty the Game Folder In order to play most of the custom maps you must have a completely empty C:\user\users\“My Games\Sid Meier’s Railroads!” folder. The simplest...

Congratulations, these are great looking TrainCars.
I hope you will have the XML files posted, sometimes, for those of us who are less talented.

The safe Events file: Every map needs an Events file. If you just start on your Mapmaking carrier, it will be safe to have only the 3 global events included: RRT_Events_MAPNAME.XML <RRTEvents> <Event> <szTitle>GLOBAL_RECESSION</szTitle> </Event> <Event> <szTitle>GLOBAL_STOCK_DECREASE</szTitle> </Ev...

Number of Buildings: http://eric.bkbobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=288 There seems to be a limit of 109 total city buildings, Small Medium & large in RTTCities_mapname.XML. I Just ran various tests on the different amounts and after 109 it starts to mess the graphics up very badly. See the You ...

You have to dowload this Map from the "Map Database"
http://www.smrsimple.com/2009/06/africa-challenge/

and be sure that this is the only map in the "UserMaps" folder.

These question, do come up time and time again. It would be nice to have a central Wiki page for new map makers, that could be referred to without going into extreme conditions. Limit of Goods = 32 Limit of Industries that can built after the game has started = 12 Limit of Industries that can be bui...

The crashes are caused by the missing Events file. This is an older map. It was made before it was discovered that if and when the games Events file calls for an event that uses Goods not in the map, it will crash. Since the crashes were random it took quite a while to come to that conclusion. The s...

Welcome back!! :) They are all here in this thread: http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1370 http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1314 http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1398 http://www.smrsimple.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1611 http://www.smrsi...

Here is clean Starting map: To begin with I have converted it to a SAM2 type map, since you are planning to add more “Non stock” items. Before you start, replace the “map_Euro2.tga” map with your own. (I did not have your map, so I have a blank flat Map) Once you start the Terrain editor and save it...

Need one more file in order for me to get into the Terrain Editor:
It is either:
Euromap.SMR_Scenario
or
Euro2.SMR_Scenario

ll try to find this "bug", should i check all the xml files in : usermap>mapname or only to a specific file since the problem only crashed in the train route map over the metropolis city ? and i don't have the RRT_event_mapname.xml file but have the depot file, should this be the problem ? Step #1....

i would like to upload the RRT_city_<map>.xml file..but i just realized that the file is >200mb alone !! while others just in a few KB. this must be the problem. I am looking for these files they are not that big: (less than 1 MB) You must have something in there that does not belong. map_NYC_Chica...

Sadly SMR isn't working well.

Come October this game will be 4 years old, and it has come a long way and it’s still going strong, thanks to all the modders. This was and still is a community project. Peoples come and go, but this forum is and was with it for four years.

It could be a simple typo. I just had a similar case, used (-) instead of (_) in my TrainCar.xml file. Took me 2 days to find it. If the game does not immediately crashes, you can watch when the error appears, (like loading a train or placing an annex) that will point to the source of the error. If ...
